[/quote]Do you know the facts behind the sacking BBB?If it''s just the 8 points from 12 games it should be noted that Hull only had 9 points from 12 games under a new manager and given time he is now accumulating points and climbing the table.

[/quote]I think Delia got it spot on with the timing of Worthingtons sacking, not that it is soley her choice. But had he been given the boot last season many managers would have pulled out of applying because we could be seen to be too ruthless. If anything last season may well have been to show potential suiters that the club is prepared to give any manager time and commitment.Personaly I think it has actually resulted in there being less pressure on Grant. Had he been thrown into the cauldron that was last season he could well have been in a similar situation by the summer facing the wrath of the fans and a disheartened sqd. Coming in when he did meant that it gave everybody a chance including the fans to adjust and took some of the expectancy out of this season meaning that he had some slack to play around with.If he had been here since the summer his signings and his tactics would be at question from the word go, instead he has been given space by some people as he is given room to experiment with the sqd he has and the tactics he may want to adopt with them.Lets face it Chadwick last season would have seen people slating him by now.

Quite unbelievable. Of course you are entitled to your point of view.It isn''t solely down to Delia, or it shouldn''t be. She may own the club but her footballing credentials are no better than yours or mine and possibly not as good.If they weren''t going to sack him they should have backed him and they didn''t. This season or last. We may never know the reason why. It doesn''t matter much now, just as long as they''ve learned from it and don''t make the same mistake again.

Cluck 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Nice to see you back Mystic........and in fine fettle!Got a blasting there then Bly....[:)]......but I personally take your point. Had City unloaded Worthington after the dreadful run in the Prem.....we might just still be there. Whether Charlton survive or not....it shows the board there are ambitious and concerned enough to take decisive action early on........if they then go down, the supporters will not be able to blame them for letting their hearts rule their heads.......a la Delia!

Actually I feel a bit bad about flitting in and out like this, throwing hand grenades and then running away. As the saying goes, if you dish it out you should be prepared to take it too.
